Abstract

Various approaches for the integration and use of edge computing operations in satellite communication environments are discussed herein. For example, connectivity and computing approaches are discussed with reference to: identifying satellite coverage and compute operations available in low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, establishing connection streams via LEO satellite networks, identifying and implementing geofences for LEO satellites, coordinating and planning data transfers across ephemeral satellite connected devices, service orchestration via LEO satellites based on data cost, handover of compute and data operations in LEO satellite networks, and managing packet processing, among other aspects.
